"Bothered" probably isn't quite right, but I'm very particular about vocabulary and would end up asking if they actually meant "special interest" or were just being emphatic if they didn't start infodumping.
This is where I'm at. I think anyone can talk about "special interests", as long as they remember you can just have a regular interest. The term should be for communicating that a topic is important to you in a way other people may not be expecting, possibly something odd and specific. It shouldn't be because you feel like you need an excuse to care about something at all.
